Knocked the wind right out of my sails . . .

This is one of those things that I had to process. I just couldn’t write it out right away. It was two weeks ago on Sunday.

Let me just say, it was really icy out.

Remember, too, I did break my leg this summer and am beginning to walk with more confidence--I thought.

And did I mention that it was really icy—the parking lot, the sidewalks, everywhere ice!

I walked into the ladies washroom at church and was met by Peggy—4 years younger than me, I think.

She said, “I saw Bob [my hubby] walking in today [outfitted in his orange parking lot attendant vest] and thought, ‘Isn’t that nice of him to help that little old lady walk in and then I realized it was you.’”

About Me

I was an Ohio farm girl, then a teacher. Following my marriage, I moved with my husband to the Chicagoland area and became the mother of two sons. At age forty, when my sons were ten and twelve years old, my husband died suddenly. My life was turned upside down. Through those difficult years, God was faithful. I became very aware of His presence and watchcare over our lives. I loved being my sons’ mama. They became wonderful men of character. Eight years later, I remarried and our family of three immediately became a family of thirteen. My husband is a hobbyist beekeeper and is contemplating retirement but still works fulltime. Today, our family numbers 23.
